RallyOn Executive Team
Doug Keare
Doug co-founded RallyOn to help companies address the crushing problems of escalating healthcare costs stemming from poor employee health. He believes companies need to decide why they care about health and wellness and then focus on things they can control like work environment, job design, and enabling certain employee behaviors. In addition to his CEO duties, Doug focuses on making sure RallyOn is one step ahead in bringing gaming to corporate wellness.
Over the past two decades, Doug worked as an executive at healthcare technology companies ADAC Labs, Accuray, and Med-Vantage and was a founder of two consumer-facing internet startups. He then decided to merge his two areas of interest and build a company that uses consumer UI and technology to help people improve their health.
Doug has a BA in Economics from Dartmouth and an MBA from Stanford University. He spent his childhood in Malaysia, Bangladesh and Washington, D.C., and finally migrated west to the Bay Area, where he lives with his wife and three rapidly maturing kids. He tries to find time for basketball, skiing, cooking, and battling bugs and blight to grow killer tomatoes.
Jennifer Gill Roberts
Jennifer Roberts co-founded RallyOn to revolutionize corporate wellness through gaming. She believes that the power of mobility and the engagement of social gaming can be put to productive use in improving the quality of people's lives. In her role as Chief Marketing Officer, she brings a clear understanding of how to use leading-edge tools to transform employee programs.
Prior to RallyOn Jennifer spent 20+ years at HP and Sun Microsystems in engineering and in venture capital as a Managing Partner at early-stage venture firms Sevin Rosen Funds and Maven Venture Partners.
Jennifer founded the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (Watermark) and has served on Advisory Boards for Indiana University, the University of Texas at Austin, the Stanford School of Engineering Venture Fund, and a number of non-profit boards. She is a Senior Fellow of the American Leadership Forum.
